This review is from: Tried and True Recipes from a Caterer's Kitchen - The Secrets of Great Foods (Hardcover)
This cookbook is well organized, fun to read, with all the basics of cooking and uses for the home cook, whether you are a beginner or advanced cook. George Erdosh provides sound reasons for what makes good food even tastier, e.g., the essentials of browning, adding flavors with herbs and spices, techniques for steaming fish, etc. He also shares the successes of presentation for entertaining along with all his great recipes. Great book to add to your kitchen library.

This review is from: Tried and True Recipes from a Caterer's Kitchen - The Secrets of Great Foods (Hardcover)
This is an excellent choice for all levels of cooks. Each chapter gives a few pages of information about cooking science and "how to do it." The recipes are interesting and come from various cuisines. Dr. Erdosh is very knowledgeable and writes in a pleasant folksy way, informative but not pedantic.
